How to setup Drupal cron job on GoDaddy hosting?

I suppose there is more than one way to do that. This is how I did this...

First, you need to go to your hosting manager page
Then from 'Content' tab choose 'Cron Manager'

Create Cron Job (from top right button)

In the 'Cron Job Title' field write some title (example: 'your_domain cron job')
In 'Command' field you should write

/usr/bin/wget -O - -q -t1 http://your_domain/cron.php

and choose 'Hourly' from selection list.
From 'Minute' selection list choose on witch minute cron will run... (example: 'x:15').

That will run 'wget' every hour (example: '01:15', '02:15', '03:15', etc...), and wget will visit cron.php for you :)
